​​MCP Connect is for developers, practitioners, researchers, and enthusiasts working with the Model Context Protocol and AI agents. We share best practices, new tools, and real-world use cases for building MCP servers and integrating them into agentic workflows. Whether you are building MCP servers for your internal or external use cases or just exploring how agents connect to applications, MCP Connect is a place to exchange ideas, learn, and help shape the future of AI workflows.

​​Agenda

​​1. Inside MCP at Mistral

​​Joffrey Thomas, Developer Relations Engineer at Mistral AI

​Starting with a quick refresher on the protocol (transport, Oauth, etc.) Joffrey will explain how MCP is integrated into the Mistral ecosystem and how you can create an MCP for Le Chat.

​2. Demonstrating "agentic" for production use

​Alexandre Gerlic, VP of Engineering at Alan

Alex will first walk us through how Figma MCP is leveraged at Alan to allow non developers to ship code. He'll then cover how "agentic" is used in production, with concrete examples from Alan's AI workflows!

​​3. Running efficient MCP servers in production

​Frédéric Barthelet, Cofounder & CTO at Alpic

​Fred takes us through the best practices of designing MCP servers that actually run well in production. He will discuss how to build, how to use the protocol to its fullest and how to evaluate your server before pushing it to users, as well as once it's in production!
